(Some) Doctors Pushing An Emotional Quick-Fix View of Varicocele and Infertility...

​Hi Daniel,
After a long time back to you. Varicocele a threat,  you discussed a lot that is praiseworthy. But a question to you that how the sagging can be abolished??? which is so much irritating.
Also doctor says that if any one remains untreated with surgery than his balls you be drier and gradually the size will smaller that have a miserable  impact on 
fertility. What is you comment about this perspective???

A Quick-Fix to a Complex Problem!

Well, you have to ask yourself--"What is varicocele, and what's really causing the testicular shrinkage and infertility?" I think your doctor is trying to push an un-educated and emotional interpretation. Which is clearly flawed in many ways. 

But, before I even begin digging into that... There is little to no scientific evidence that even says your testicles will regain size after surgery. Moreover, the benefits of surgery are only present in 1 in 7 men who undergo the procedure--AT BEST. That's the real science behind it. So, his interpretation that surgery is the final option is obviously misleadingly false. Surgery is not even effective at alleviating  pain. Many scientific reviews also say that surgery might not be effective at all. Moreover there are specific criteria that must be met by the patient, for surgery to be effective. Do you meet those criteria? Does your doctor even know/care what those criteria are? 

Now, to dig into the un-educated emotional components... What really causes testicular shrinkage and infertility? That's a fundamentally important thing to know! The answer is varicocele pools blood that causes 3 things:

1. Toxin pooling, especially increased concentrations of ROS (reactive oxygen specifies)
2. Lack of nutrient exchange
3. Testicular over-heating (in most people, at times over-cooling)

Now, can you treat each of these individual cases without surgery? The answer in many ways is Yes You Can.

Let's break it down 1 by 1:

---

1. Toxin pooling, especially increased concentrations of ROS (reactive oxygen specifies):

• Herbal supplements that have specific antioxidant properties like Gradeseed/Pinebark, Bilberry, and some Vitamins have been shown to reduce the ROS effect 
• Some herbal extracts can increase portal & capillary vein blood flushing e.g. Horse Chestnut & Hawthorn 
• Why not improve testicular blood circulation? There are many ways of doing this. E.g. address the risk factors that exacerbate the Nutcracker effect, and also what causes increased abdominal pressure. I cover these in detail in the Healing Guide. 
• There is even more that you can do, for example, why not reduce your overall toxin exposure? 
• Even more... Cooling the varicocele (testicular portal veins) increases their contractility--this minimizes blood pooling. 
• And more...? What about supportive & cooling varicocele therapeutic underwear (NOT Standard Supporters)?

Does surgery correct any of these? I think not.

2. Lack of nutrient exchange

• This is very similar to the previous point in that it requires improving testicular blood circulation
• The key difference is many people are lacking proper nutrition for their testicles and varicocele
• Moreover your testicles have enzymes (the things that make the testicles work!) that only function at a certain temperature. Therefore you MUST manage testicular temperature.

Does surgery correct any of these? I think not.

3. Testicular over-heating (in most people), and in few over-cooling

• Now, it's no revelation that you need to keep your testicles cool. They're outside of your body for a reason. The problem is that varicocele disrupts the normal heat regulation mechanisms of the testicle (scrotal sagging and the counter-correct heat-exchange mechanism)
• The results is chronically over-heated testicles. 
• But, the Complete problem is more than this. The Complete problem is also that our modern lifestyle is over-heating our testicles. This is why male fertility in general (in developed nations) is on the rise.
• So, we must both make lifestyle change, and perform cooling treatments. I outline these in the Healing Guide as well.

Does surgery correct any of these? I think not.

Surgery is sold as a "quick-fix" for a complex problem

So, the real problem is that your doctor is selling a simple quick-fix to a problem that's actually very complex and requires real management. That's the fuller-view of the reality and complexity of the situation.

Hope it helps
